San Francisco Alone: A Solo Travel Guide for Women 50 and Over

San Francisco, from the Ferry Building west.

Graze the stalls of the Ferry Building on arrival, walk the Embarcadero to North Beach for cioppino, and cross the Golden Gate Bridge, deciding beforehand whether to walk or ride back.

Eat alone: a counter seat, wine by the glass, a Mission burrito.

See: Chinatown, Pacific Heights, Golden Gate Park, Muir Woods and Sausalito.

Feel safe: main streets after dark in the Mission, your drink in sight.

Day plans, hotels by budget and honest safety notes. EPUB ebook.
